Ok I am freaking out here.

After spending all this time setting up my IPAQ to my likings. I make on dumb mistake and the whole things has gone wacko.
I installed NetFront 3.1 Browser and while digging around in the browser settings I accidentally deleted a folder called windows.

Now my Ipaq is wigging out. Today screens are gone, programs are gone, everything is not showing up on the Ipaq.

How the hell do I get my stuff back. I don't know if I have a back up on this since its relativly new for me.

Should I just hard reset ?

Help.

Yep. Hard reset will restore the Pocket PC to its original state and you'll have to reinstall your software. Like a standard computer, some folders are better not touched...

Thanks for the info.

Yep I am gonna just hard reset and then reload.

Man they ought to have a setting that blocks folders from being touched if they are critical to the system. That way when I have a brain fart I can't screw the thing up
